Now the service is running, so this looks better. Please attempt to update again and post the result..

 

[AntoineM]

same outcome sadly

Are you sure this version of Windows 11 is installed with an (official) ISO and not with an modified / tweaked ISO?

 

[AntoineM]

Yes, I've Installed Windows 11 back in January 2023 with the Media Creation Tool.
I never had issues with my installation, same for the updates until I discovered that the cumulative update failed with the error code back in June.

One thing I didn't mention is that I changed my GPU back in march and my monitor in january.

Also got this HP usb driver update failure since a while, I did some research back then and people were saying to ignore it. I have no HP devices (maybe my old monitor?)

 

[Maxstar]

Replacing the GPU will not be the cause I think, but please run the following command in an elevated prompt and provide a screenshot.

slmgr /dlv

I've Installed Windows 11 back in January 2023 with the Media Creation Tool.

And how did you activate this system? With a cheap license which you can buy all over the internet, it seems you've used such a MAK-retail key which wil be N6HM8-*****-*****-*****-3DBP2

 

[AntoineM]

I've sent the screenshot by dm.

Yes I bought a cheap retail key online.

 

[Maxstar]

Please note:

• Cheap keys for Windows / Office are usually leaked volume licence keys.
• When a product (MAK) key is a grey market key or when you're using an activator the key could be blacklisted to prevent software piracy.
• The screenshot you have sent shows also an illegal MAK key like your SOFTWARE hive.

In post #24 I've asked if this system with Windows 11 was legally activated?

Yes, my Windows 11 is activated with a retail licence, activated with a proper key.
I've installed it back in January 2023 iirc

But it was not a legal activation with a proper key.

So I will close this thread, because I am not helping with illegal versions and in particular because I specifically asked for it and get a non answer!
